Smart Phones for Smart Kids

This year more than 750 million educational apps for mobile devices will be installed world-wide.

In the coming weeks, 55 million U.S. students in grades K-12 will go back to school. In their backpacks they will carry pens, No. 2 pencils, 3-ring binders and calculators. But most students will also carry something that their parents' generation could never have imagined: a smartphone.

And that changes everything. The mobile technologies that have revolutionized the American workplace are now transforming our education system.
